TRANSPORTATION: HOW TO GET TO THE
AMHERST AND MAIN CAMPUSES
The CSDL-II conference will take place on the Amherst (or North)
Campus of SUNY Buffalo on Friday, April 12 1996, and Sunday, April
14,1996. The conference will take place on the Main (or South) Campus
of SUNY Buffalo onSaturday, April 13, 1996. The Amherst Campus is
situated north of I-290, near the intersection of Route 263
(Millersport Highway) and Maple Road. The South Campus is located
within Buffalo itself, at the corner of Main Street (Route 5) and
Bailey Avenue. See enclosed maps for location on campus of the
buildings where CSDL-II talks will take place.
If you fly into Buffalo:
Taxi service is available from the airport to the hotels near the
Amherst Campus. The fare is approximately $15.00.
If you fly into Toronto:
Direct transportation to the Amherst or Main Campus or to the hotels
near the Amherst campus from Toronto International Airport is
available via Niagara Air Bus. The rates cited here are in US
dollars. The individual rate is $35 one way, or $70 round trip. The
fee rates per group for groups with exclusive use of vehicle are: for
groups of 4 people $135 one-way, $270 round trip; for groups of 10
people - $200 one-way, $400 round trip. Arrangements should be made
several days in advance through Glenny Travel (toll
free:800-667-488. Or 716-853-3572).
If you come by rail:
Local bus/MetroRail service is available from the downtown
train station. From the train station, walk about a block and a half
west along Exchange St. to Main St. Take the MetroRail to the UB Main
or South Campus. To get from the Main Campus to the Amherst Campus
take a #44A bus to the Flint Loop on the Amherst Campus. From the
Depew Station, you would have to take a taxi, which would cost $15-$20
to the UB Amherst or Main campus or to the hotels near the Amherst
Campus. Taxi service is also available from the downtown station but
would cost somewhat more.
If you come by bus:
Same as if you come by rail to the downtown train station, except
that you walk about 2 blocks west to Main St. to get the MetroRail.
If you come by car:
The Amherst Campus is just off Millersport Highway (Route 263),
north of Maple Rd. If you are arriving via the New York Thruway,
either from the east or from the west, take exit 50, I-290 (Youngmann
Memorial Highway) to the Millersport Highway North (Route 263).
Proceed north to the State University Exit (SUNYAB-Flint Entrance).
If you arriving from Canada, either from the Peace Bridge or from one
the more northern bridges, take I-190 to I-290. Proceed on I-290 to
I-990. Go north a short distance on I-990 to State University
exit. See map enclosed. If you wish to park on campus, you will need
a parking tag to do so; if you want a tag, please let us know and we
will send you one. You should know that parking on campus is rather
tight, particularly on Friday from 8:45 to 2:30.
The Main Campus is at the corner of Bailey Ave. and Main Street
(Route 5). If you are arriving via the New York Thruway, either from
the east or from the west, take exit 50, I-290 (Youngmann Memorial
Highway) to the Main Street West exit. Proceed West on Main for about
4 miles to the corner of Main and Bailey. If you are arriving from
Canada, either from the Peace Bridge or from one the more northern
bridges, take I-190 to I-290. Proceed as follows then. See map
enclosed. If you wish to park on campus, you will need a parking tag
to do so; if you want a tag, please let us know and we will send you
